TWO women have been charged with travelling to Port Glasgow to carry out a shoplifting raid at the town's Tesco store whilst on nine bail orders between them.

Charmaine Holmes, 27, and Catelin Greenaway, 25, are accused of stealing a quantity of alcohol and also household items from the supermarket shortly before last Christmas.

Holmes, of Renfrew, is said to have been on seven bail orders at the time of the alleged thefts on December 14.

The Crown says that Greenaway, of Johnstone, had been granted bail twice.

A warrant has been granted for the arrest of Greenaway, while the case against Holmes has been continued without plea at Greenock Sheriff Court until June 4.
